| What tonearms work with denon 103r? No Dan_ed, I'm already married. Regarding the Denon..I do have a good phono stage, and wonder why so many cartridges beat the pants off of the Denon. If you listen with open ears, you too will be disappointed in it. There are almost an infinite le... | |
| Best Cartridges for the Money You've Experienced ..just for your information....I had a Grado Sonata low output. I thought it was wonderful until I replaced it with a Benz Ebony. ..no contest. The Grado was grainy, brown and colored, limited bandwith, etc. The change was a jaw dropper. | |

| What tonearms work with denon 103r? To these ears, (and I've read all the gushing) I think the Denons are worth 200 dollars and nothing more. I think they have poor dynamics, are very limited in bandwidth, have stiff cantilevers, and as such to even get the best it can offer (yawn) ... | |
| Best Cartridges for the Money You've Experienced If you set up your turntable properly, there is no "up" only a trading of differences at your stage. Go spend your money if you must - mail me a check while you're at it | |
| What's the next upgrade step?? I have changed things more than a couple of times and always found that once I have a good arm, cartridge upgrades provide more bang for the buck. Moving from one top grade arm to another may change color, etc, but I could live with a Phantom, SME... | |

| Suggest Table and cartridge for my system What would be interesting as well is comparing the Benz S LP with the LP. | |
| Enjoying vinyl more than ever......... Yes, I think vinyl is wonderful, however, if you hear that much difference, you need a better CD player | |
| .. A Conundrom.... Wow what a difference. It sounds absolutely effortless now, whereas it sounded as though it was shouting before. What a difference!! Thanks Kurt_tank. | |
| .. A Conundrom.... Thanks Kurt_tank... Its odd that Ayre didn't change their owners manual. Also, I was speaking about this very issue to Mike W - who is in charge of production at Ayre who didn't mention this to me. I do thank you for that information however, will... | |
| Tracking Force I had a Grado Sonata low output and it tracked anything at the manufacturers suggested tracking weight. Remember as you add (or subtract) VTF, you should adjust the VTA | |
| An Audiophile Goal Hi Acoutat6... I'm not shouting, just saying that Rock music never works softly, nor do string quartets work loudly. Are you saying never to touch the volume control, or do you somehow assess the loudness level of the piece. When I go to a concert... | |
| An Audiophile Goal BECAUSE ROCK MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE LOUDER THAN string quarters | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. I have a VPI arm with damping ability. I add the oil one drop at a time and listen. Deapth, width, and air is added with every drop, then BAM it all falls appart. I take a Q-tip to remove that last bit of oil, and Im satisfied. |
